Hi--I'm new to the farmgirl connection and hail from Illinois. I have this crazy dream of moving to the country and raising llamas and alpacas.I'm teaching myself to embroider and knit and I also write poetry and paint. I love being creative and self-sufficient and I love the midwest. "The country I come from is called the midwest"--Bob Dylan
Welcome fom the Atlantic coast! Some of my favorite trips were driving through the midwest years ago, when gas was 33 cents a gallon. You will love this forum...
Welcome from your Missouri neighbor! I too dream of moving to the country someday and raising all kinds of critters. I love to knit...it's my therapy ;)

Hi there. Welcoming you all the way from Geargia! I knitted a little a few years ago, but didn't keep at it and now I've forgotten how. I can crochet up a storm even after a few years of not and just pick it right back up. Not with the knitting. Too complicated for me. But then everything's a bit complicated for me.
Anyway, welcome and hope to see you more here.

Prairiehawk, We're glad to meet you! I taught myself to knit, too....about a year and a half ago. Lived all my life in Illinois. I'm out by the Rock River now on a small piece of property - and we love it here. Hoping for you that your crazy dream comes true. And speaking of llamas, there's a llama farm out this way called Blue Moon Llamas, check it out: www.bluemoonllamas.com Welcome to MaryJane's farmgirl connection.
Welcome! I'm also an alpaca wannabee. I have to content myself with going to the alpaca expos and knitting stuff with alpaca yarn. Maybe someday we'll live someplace with space for a couple of real live alpacas! Sue in Richland WA
Welcome prairiehawk! Glad you could stop by...I crochet up a storm, am learning to knit and was once a certified one stroke instructor for Donna Dewberry (use to love to paint) hope your dream comes true quickly! critters are so much fun.. janiee farmgirl #390
